    My First Turkey on a Weber

    Ok folks, It's going to be an early Thanksgiving's dinner at the house tomorrow because I won't be home on the 27th so I'm going to do the turkey on the Weber P.P. for the first time. I will try to keep you all posted step by step as I am doing it. Step one: The 18 lb. Butterball turkey has been thawing for 4 days in the fridge.

    Step 2: The brine > 1/2 gallon of apple juice, 1 cup of Kosher salt, 1 tsp of dry Thyme, 1 tsp of dry Sage, 1 tsp of dry Rosemary and a couple of Bay leaves. Click image for larger version Name: DSC_0195.JPG Views: 82 Size: 86.9 KB ID: 31948

      Step 3: Got the turkey in a large Ziplock bag soaking in the brine ice down in the cooler. Click image for larger version Name: DSC_0197.JPG Views: 78 Size: 53.9 KB ID: 31950

            Thanks Huskee, I never thought of it that way but, it is. I will probably be driving it a decade from now as they just don't make them like that anymore.
